Data Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Performed Data cleaning in a huge dataset which had many missing data & extreme outliers from Hadoop
• Used MICE in R & iterative imputer in python to impute missing observations based on the existing observations & tracked outliers using Mahalanobis distance & chi square cut off to remove extreme outliers
• Used cook’s distance to detect distinct observational influence on the dataset and removed the outliers
• Used two sample independent t-tests to access the differences in mean purchases across dichotomous variables such as gender and marital status, used one-way ANOVA and tukey parameter to access difference between mean purchases across polychotomous variables such as occupation and age
• Used Multiple Linear Regression, Decision Tree Regression, Support Vector Regression & ensemble learning like Bagging, Random Forests & Gradient Boosting Machine to train 70% of the model & the models were optimized using Grid Search & the predictions were made on the test set using each trained model
